Texas Fever as TeKamah.

LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. ga fresh
outbreak of Texas fever has appeared
at Tekamah, this state, where the dis
ease first appeared about three months
ago. DIR. Frank s. Billings, of the
Veterinary Department of the Univer-

investigate the matter, telegraphed

This is new phase of the disease, as
it has been held heretofore, that only
Texas cattle could communicate the
fever to others. Twelve animals have
died and the others are sick.

PARSONS, one of the condemned an
archists, publishes an address ''tO the
American people," in which he de-
clares his innocence, and says he wants
no interference with his death sentence
by either the United States supreme
court or the governor of Illinois, but
nevertheless appeals to ''the people" to
save his neck. He wants elderly or
DEATH" He does not say in so many
words that he is anxious to have him
self and his co-conspiratOrs saved from
the gallows by outside mob violence,
but that is what he evidently means.
He can mean nothing else. He wants
no new trial; he wants no Communication
of sentence; he wants no pardon; but,
naturally enough, he doesn't want to
be hanged, and in order to escape hang
ing he wants ''the American people
to come to his rescue by force of arms.

NATURAL gas has been discovered at
HerndOn, Guthrie county, Iowa, which
Is the only place in that state where it
is known to exist in considerable guam
titles. The place is situated in fer
tile prairie country, some miles north
west of DesMoines, at a crossing Of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul and the
Wabash narrow gauge lines. The re-
markable thing about the discovery is
that the gas pours forth in powerful
currents, without visible diminution in
volume, from wells only $50 to 165 feet
in depth. One well, however. was
sunk to depth of 2S0 feet, and in the
drilling gas was struck at four differ
emit points-fiTst in soft white sand
stone, at 100 feet, in slate at 100 feet,
in hard sandstone at 1856 feet, and in
black slate at depth of $50 feet. At
the lower point reached crude petrc-
leum is reported to have been pumped
out in small quantities. The gas pro-
ducing stratum appears to be only
about sixty feet in depth, Immediately
underlying an impervious deposit of
blue clay, about eighty feet deep. The
gas is said to be very pure, being COM
posed largely of hydrogen, with a
smaller percentage of carbon than east
ern wells contain. There is enough of
the find to develop good-sized boom
for what was only a few weeks ago
a very quiet little rural village.-MOn-

THE Kansas City Star has the follow
ing sensible remarks as regards the G..
A. R.:
Report comes from st. Louis that
Major George Treadwell, who is the
chief supporter of General SlOcum for
the position of commander-in-chief of
the G. A. R., said last night: 1T is
about time the Grand Army should
elect democrat to the position" Gen.
Slocum is an able and popular man and
was good soldier, but he should not
be placed at the head of the
G.. A. R. because he is
democrat. The G. y. r. organiza-
ton has been endangered by political
feelings creeping into it, and it should
not now avowedly take on a political
color in electing a cOmmander-in-chief
because he is either democrat or re-
publican. The pleasure and the useful
ness of the G. a. r. order depend on it
keeping out of politics. The one adj
vanced to the Office of COMMANDMENTS
chief of the G. A. r. should reach the
position because he is a man and sol
der and not because he is partisan.
